Description

Energy in the body is primarily supplied from two sources:

Carbohydrates - in the form of glycogen stored in the muscles
Fat - stored around the body

During exercise, we use a combination of these energy sources. At a high intensity the main source of energy is carbohydrate and at a low intensity fat is the predominate source. As there is a limit to the amount of carbohydrate that can be stored in the muscles, high intensity work can only be sustained for short periods. We have large stores of fat so low intensity work can be maintained for long periods.
Aromatherapy, another possible ergogenic (external influences which can positively affect physical or mental performance) aid, has been growing in recent years and has received increasing attention from both traditional and alternative medicine practitioners. Smell is the least understood of all our senses in relation to the effect it has on our bodies but Burton-Goldberg (a professor who has spent over 30 years researching alternative medicine and written a number of leading books on the subject) stated in 1993 that inhaling peppermint is reported to be a stimulant for increased energy which would certainly benefit any individual during an exercise bout. By definition, peppermint could be considered an ergogenic aid.
Lemon oil has a number of properties of which the most important is its ability to stimulate the white corpuscles that defend the body against infection. Peppermint is said to clear the head and stimulate the brain aiding clear thinking. Rosemary is said to be an excellent tonic for the heart, liver and gallbladder and to help lower the cholesterol levels in the blood. When Eucalyptus is used as a massage it can help to relieve the pain of rheumatism, muscular aches and fibrositis. It can also assist in sports injuries and sprains.
We make no medicinal claims for this blend of oil and it is important to read the warning before use. This product can be used as a massage or bath oil.
